UFO’s–Not the Space Kind

If you are a quilter, you are very familiar with UFO’s (Un-Finished Objects). Dedicated quilters (and other crafters) have a LOT of those. I have too many to count. I buy all the materials, start a project, and then move on to something else before I ever finish. Some times I just buy the fabric and never start at all! Well, I’ve dedicated this month to FINISHING! I thought I would share some of these UFO’s and then let you know in the coming days of my progress.

Here are a few of the unfinished things I found lying around. I have dozens and dozens, so I will just give you a peek at a few.

This little Halloween table topper just needs to be quilted. Maybe I will add a border.

I found these blocks on Ebay some time ago. I’d guess they are from the 50’s or 60’s. They are handpieced. I added the polka dot and navy fabrics. I have six blocks. I could probably make a little lap quilt.

This little Fall stitchery is almost done. I hope it looks cuter when is is quilted.

Same with this tiny wallhanging. It’s my first attempt at hand applique.I’m ashamed to say I have purchased whole quilt kits that I never even started. I’m not even sure I like them anymore. If I do tackle them, I will probably update the fabrics.I liked this floral fabric a lot when I bought it years ago and found some coordinating prints. I started some piecing, thinking to make it into a quilted jacket. That’s not going to happen. But it would make a nice charity quilt.Here are a couple small holiday items. It wouldn’t take much to finish them. I just have to have a reason.

Loved the unusual color scheme in these holiday prints.

These “orphan” blocks I picked up at a guild meeting. I’m sure I could combine them into nice charity quilt. Our guild makes quilts for a local shelter for women and children.Well, I could go on and on, but I will stop for now. Time to get sewing!

Well, these are what I kept, after giving some others away! But I have finally come to the realization that I won’t live long enough to finish everything I have. Maybe it’s time for some giveaways on my blog.
